Redraw the person in the original photo as a very loose, minimalist fashion sketch. Preserve the exact pose, angle, body position, gestures, gaze direction, and composition. Do not change the pose or create a new scene; simply turn the photo into a quick artistic sketch.

Style: loose fashion illustration, expressive marker sketch, fashion designer’s notebook drawing, and beautiful illustrated fashion caricature. Make it look as if a fashion illustrator created it in a few minutes: use as few lines as possible and maximize expressiveness. Avoid detail; convey the person through a silhouette, a few confident contours, and large areas of color.

Use a black liner or black gel pen for simple, expressive lines. Use a few strokes rather than a fully rendered drawing. Keep the contours lively, slightly rough, uneven, and handmade. Apply color in broad strokes with colored markers. Use no more than four colors. Avoid complex shading, shadows, and gradients; use only large color shapes and bold patches.

Render the face as a beautiful, highly minimalist fashion caricature with dramatically exaggerated fashion proportions: huge expressive eyes extending beyond the natural boundaries of the face, drawn with only a few lines and without irises or detail; eyelashes indicated by one expressive black stroke; a small, simple nose made with one line; small lips with a light outline; a sharp chin; an elongated, graceful face; and a thin, long neck. Do not draw the face realistically or make it look like a portrait. Treat the face as a symbol and a mood, not a collection of details.

Show the hair as large masses and a few broad lines, without individual strands. Render the clothes as large shapes, volumes, and patches of color, without fabric details or small elements. Slightly exaggerate the silhouette in a fashion-illustration style, with a slim waist, long legs, and an elegant figure, while preserving the original pose and composition.

Use a completely white background, like a blank sheet of paper. The result should feel like a quick design sketch made with colored markers and a black liner: a few bold strokes, minimal drawing, exaggerated beautiful facial features, an expressive silhouette, and a handmade quality rather than a finished illustration.

Negative prompt: detailed drawing, realistic face, realistic eyes, detailed eyelashes, realistic skin, portrait, too many lines, fine details, complex shadows, realistic hair, digital painting, 3D, CGI, photorealism, watercolor, perfectly clean graphics, changed pose, changed angle, new scene, background, interior.
